It’s been a hot, sticky week with high temperatures and uncomfortably high levels of humidity. Clammy, muggy, oppressive, sultry . . . the adjectives are almost endless.
One of the strange things about this kind of weather is that, on the one hand you want to get out in the sun, but on the other hand that can make you feel just too hot – and then you crave the relative cool of indoors.
We wondered how this might affect sales of walking sticks, which of course are all to do with getting out and making the most of good weather. We’re in the right position to judge because we sell walking aids (such as walking sticks, hiking sticks and trekking poles) mainly through our website.
Well, people seem as interested in walking sticks as ever. That’s obviously good news for the website and for us personally, but it also means people are doing their best to enjoy the weather – and not allowing a little inconvenience like humidity to spoil their summer.
